Not doing a demo as far as cooking.... just have a booth from 9-3 on Nov 5. Any suggestions on products to show would be helpful! Its a church in town with lots of older people. The chillzane rectangular server (deviled egg side) is definitely on my list....maybe if I do any demo at all - slice some apples with the APCS since its Fall....
 
put water and confetti in the quil stir pitcher...then you can let the kids stir it while you talk to the moms....everyone loves it and it shows how well the particles mix in the pitcher and looks really pretty
 
The jar opener would be good if you are gonna have alot of older people. The can opener is a good one too.
 
I think if you had some of your Simple Additions out on display, maybe the stands or create a stand using the bowls and plates would be a good thing. Everyone will be entertaining the next couple of months!

Thanks!Everyone = thanks for your responses. Yep definitely the Simple Additions for displaying things, especially since they are the host special. I ordered the jar opener and it should be here by then! I need to get some vanilla since it is the guest special.
 
me too!Hi Cindy! I am actually going to a bazaar at a church at the same day and time but hopefully not the same one. I'm brand new to PC so if you have any ideas I would love them. At my bazaar I'm not allowed to do any food because it would conflict with the church selling food at the bazaar so the pitcher is a great idea. Keep them coming!

Hi Amanda - a couple ideas for you:
Coupons for 10% off orders. If you get alot of orders, you honestly don't notice it. Another thing I have done is do a raffle for a free kitchen show - and actually you let "everybody" win - call them up later and what it means is you bring the ingredients or mail the postcards for them. If you don't want to do that, you could offer $5 off of the host's order for any booking you get. A few people usually take me up on it and then you get bookings off of them......
Yes the pitcher with glitter on it so they can "plunge" is really cute. I've done that before, in fact tomorrow night at the school where I work, they are letting me do a booth. We are having an "outerspace" theme and I have silver stars and moons and glitter for the pitcher, should be really cute!
I have the bazaar booth set up as a fund-raiser and the church knows they are getting 15%. Oh and I am bringing the striped simple additions and my fall table linens, trying to do the fall theme. I also ordered 4 packs of the mini-holiday catalogs off of the supply order to pass out. Good Luck - and unless you live in NC, we aren't doing the same bazaar! LOL
